Ritmo/AL/garage/victoria Guns are for racist Tea-baggers…they represent their bitter rage at their displacement from what was, once, their own nation…a nation of sexism, racism, homo-phobia and bigotry…that is all changing and they want to use violence to turn back the clock!

One solution: The UIC campus police could open their range, in the historic Maxwell Street Station, to the public: 1) Liability issues;2) Legal/budgetary issues. A police range is for POLICE training, not public training…they’d have to charge something for privilege.3) Any that’s not the solution Chicago is looking for, the goal is to make it impossible to have a weapon in Chicago, legally.Wonder what the ACLU or Jeremy would say if we made this substitution:“Reasonable Time, Place and Manner restrictions are one thing, this another,” Winkler tweeted. “Chicago requires 1 hour of public speaking classes for public speech.” To Heck with banning Toastmasters!

ndspinell: (tongue in cheek follows)--I am a BIG gun proponent; preferable in excess of .50 caliber (12.7 for you metric freaks)--lots more stopping power. Barring that the old m1911 a1 ACP will do in a pinch. Its just you cant hit anything with it.
